C269 Another group of Nicky

The man frowned, then turned around and walked over to a Nicky behind him.

The Nicky looked a little old, with a wrinkled face.

The Nicky who can speak Chinese is currently talking to the old Nicky with a respectful expression. I immediately understood that this old Nicky should be someone similar to the chief, while the Nicky who can speak Chinese is reporting the situation to him on his translation.

Then, I saw the old Nikki nod, and the one who could speak Chinese turn to me and say, "As long as you help us find Wa Jike, I will release all of you, but before that, the three of them will have to stay with us."

I frowned. It was obvious that I wanted the three of them as hostages.

It seems that these Nicky people are very difficult to talk to. Based on their previous situation, they were definitely attacked by other people, which is why they are so wary of us.

In that case, it seemed unlikely that they would let Luna and the others go, so I took a step back and told the Nicky that we had our own group of survivors, and asked him if he could get one of the girls to go back and tell our people so they wouldn't worry.

The Nicky turned around and translated a few words with the chief. After that, the chief nodded his head. Then, the Nicky turned his head towards me and said, "OK."

[What the heck! This guy actually said "OK"?]

"I'll give you three minutes of discussion time. Decide on someone to go back as soon as possible." He continued.

I quickly nodded and said "Thank you". The instant I turned my head, I saw the moon spirit say, "Xiao Chen, I won't go back, I plan to go with you to the island to take a look."

My intuition told me that if the moon spirit really did return to the island, she would definitely think of something.

Du Yue also wouldn't let her travel this far by herself, so this mission would naturally fall onto Du Yue's shoulders. Looking at the situation, Du Yue seemed to be extremely unwilling, I know that she really wished to continue interacting with Yue Ling, but other than her, there's no one else suitable for this.

Du Yue quickly climbed down the cliff and left.

The Nicky marched us through the woods with their spears.

Actually, I should have been more alert when I saw the traces of people being cut down in the forest. It's a good thing that they are a group of Nicky people, if they were from the Bluebird Company, the Salvation Army or the Wanderers, then we would be in trouble.

It seemed that his ability to recognize his surroundings through his environment needed to be strengthened.

After a short walk into the woods, I saw a clearing in the woods, and again the Nicky cottages I knew, scattered like donkey dung.

The area of this area was much larger than the Nikki people on the island. It was like a small community, and one could see many Nikki people shuttling through it.

When we got there, the Chinese Nicky told us to stay outside the settlement, and the old Nicky called out a few words in his loud voice. Then the Nicky gathered together in the settlement.

There were about three hundred of them, but the old man's voice was so loud that everyone could hear him even without a horn.

I saw the old Nicky pointing at us from time to time as he talked, and I waved to them whenever they pointed to me as a gesture of friendship.

However, before I could do much more, I saw the Nicky, who spoke Chinese, come running over and tell me not to do this anymore.

Frontal

It occurred to me that the Nikki greeted each other by touching their chests, and I hastily said, "I'm sorry."

The Chinese Nicky, who might have been worried about me, stayed with me this time and began to watch the other Nicky meetings with us from a distance.

I tried to talk to him. First I asked him his name, and he said his name was nicotine.

Why don't you call it acetone or butane? It's all the chemicals in cigarettes anyway.

As soon as he said this, I heard the moon spirit behind me let out a hearty, silly laugh.

I glanced back at her, and the moon spirit quickly returned to its normal expression.

He said "nicotine" in Nikki meant "a man who is good at running," and I nodded.

I asked him what kind of meeting the Patriarch was holding, and he said that they were discussing who would go with him to the island to find Wa Jike (Dawn).

I immediately told him, that in order to find Wa Jike, there wouldn't be many people, but we had to be smart, and everyone's skills had to be good.

Nicholas frowned and asked me why. Afterwards, I explained the situation on the island to him in detail, and Nicholas looked extremely worried. "Do you think Wa Jike is still alive?"

"To tell you the truth, I don't think he'll survive." At the same time, I remembered that when we were about to leave the island, a horrendous wave of animals and the storm in the sky combined with the armed men of the Bluebird Company had turned the island into a hell.

Nicholas shook his head: "We will go to him even if there is a glimmer of hope."

Needless to say, these Nicky people were really interesting.

When I saw that the nicotine seemed to be more relaxed with me, I began to inquire about them. I asked them why they hadn't moved to the island in a group, but instead had split into two parts and why they had moved to the island in the first place.

Nicotine probably thought I was already in their hands, even if it meant confessing to me, so she went straight to the point.

It turned out that in April last year, these Nikes discovered a group of foreigners intruding into the depths of the mountains behind the southern foothills. They were all dressed in blue and grey striped clothes, and started to build some strange subterranean building s in the depths of the mountains behind the mountains. And along with them came some quick and fierce animals, which had a great effect on them, and some of the Nicky people had even died because of it.

But what really made them decide to move was not the animals, but the strange thing with a human face. These strange things were even more aggressive than those animals. They believed that this strange thing represented foreboding and death, so they decided to move in batches towards the nearest island.

Wa Jike's team of Nikes were the first to move in, but when the remaining Nikes wanted to move, they realized that there was a strange curse surrounding the entire southern foothills. As long as they got near the edge of the southern foothills area, their bodies would be abnormal, and if they did not move, they would die, so the rest of them would not be able to move successfully.

I shivered. From what Nicholas had said, I could deduce two things.

Firstly, there was a secret underground research base hidden inside the southern foothills. This research base was closely related to the origin of the "Gecko Man".

Furthermore, it turned out that southern foothills had already been encircled by a ring-shaped viral region in April last year, sealing the entire southern foothills. In other words, when Du Yue's expedition team and the moon spirit entered this place, they had already been infected by a virus. Especially the moon spirit! This seemed to explain why the Moon Spirit had such a powerful energy.

I started to ask Nicotine to bring me to the base, but she said that it had been abandoned for months, and that it was very dangerous, and that it was their absolute forbidden area. If I wasn't afraid of dying, she could just point me in that direction, but that would only be possible if I found Wa Jike on the island.

I told Nicholas that I probably didn't remember exactly where the island was, but that I didn't have to worry about that. They knew where the island was, and they could use the sun to pinpoint the exact location of the island.

"But, aren't you all unable to get close to the southern foothills? "Then how can we get to the seaside and take a boat?" I asked, puzzled.

Nicholas's face turned sly: "Since you can come to this place, it means that you have a way to remove the curse, right?"

I frowned, unable to see that the nicotine was intelligent.
